Alberto Contador took control of the Vuelta a España after the former leader Nairo Quintana crashed and lost valuable time during the 10th stage, a time trial won by Tony Martin. Quintana lost control on a downhill curve, hitting a guard rail, and going head over heels onto the ground. He went from leading Contador by three seconds at the start of the day to trailing by 3 minutes 25 seconds.
